How will Brevard be affected by a storm brewing in the Caribbean that is expected to form into a significant hurricane?

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday said Florida is preparing for a direct hit from a major hurricane that could intensify quickly before it makes landfall in the Panhandle later this week. The National Hurricane Center predicted a tropical storm currently in the Gulf of Mexico will become Hurricane Helene as it moves north toward Florida by Thursday.

Getting pummeled again and again by hurricanes has left many in Florida's Taylor County tired, alarmed and apprehensive after the latest forecast showing a possible Category 3 storm might hit the area this week.
